urethral stricture/obesity

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to analyse the clinical-demographic variables of the series and the predictors of urethral stricture recurrence after endoscopic urethrotomy. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 67 patients who underwent Sachse endoscopic urethrotomy between June 2006 and September

OBJECTIVE To present results of an algorithmic approach to perineal urethrostomy (PU) based on a midline perineal incision among men with complex urethral strictures. METHODS A single surgeon retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent PU between 2008 and 2017 was performed. Patient

OBJECTIVE To identify patient and stricture characteristics predicting failure after direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) for single and short (<2 cm) bulbar urethral strictures. METHODS We retrospectively analysed the records of adult patients who underwent DVIU between January 2002 and 2013.

BACKGROUND To present an updated experience using our previously reported lateral perineal '7-flap' technique for perineal urethrostomy (PU), highlighting its role in a variety of patients with advanced urethral stricture disease. METHODS All patients who underwent 7-flap PU from 2009-2013 were

Objective: To examine the impact of obesity on perioperative outcomes and urethral stricture recurrence after anterior urethroplasty. Material and methods: We reviewed our

OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of obesity on the development of urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction after brachytherapy by means of patient-administered questionnaires. The effect of obesity on dosimetric quality and biochemical outcome was also evaluated. METHODS Thirty-two patients with

Lichen sclerosus (LS) in men is poorly understood. Though uncommon, it is often severe and leads to repeated surgical interventions and deterioration in quality of life. We highlight variability in disease presentation, diagnosis, and patient factors in male LS patients evaluated at a tertiary care

OBJECTIVE The increasing incidence of both obesity and prostate cancer (PCa) detection will confront the urologist more often with obese men having PCa. It is unknown whether obesity affects the surgical and oncological outcomes following open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). Knowledge

Introduction. Concealed-buried penis is an acquired condition associated with obesity, challenging to both manage and repair. Urethral stricture is a more common disorder with multiple etiologies. Lichen sclerosus is a significant known cause of urethral stricture, implicated in up to 30%. We

To evaluate the intermediate-term outcomes from a large, single institution series of patients with lichen sclerosus (LS) who underwent surgical management of their urethral strictures. We retrospectively reviewed 79 patients who underwent surgical management of their LS urethral strictures from

OBJECTIVE We determined the incidence of treatment for urethral stricture, including bladder neck contracture, after primary treatment for clinically localized prostate cancer. METHODS A total of 6,597 men with newly diagnosed, localized prostate cancer and no history of urethral stricture disease

OBJECTIVE We evaluated preoperative risk factors associated with stricture recurrence in a large, homogenous series of bulbar urethroplasties. METHODS We analyzed the records of 596 patients who underwent isolated bulbar urethroplasty at a single center from August 2003 to June 2015. Urethroplasty

The symptoms and diagnosis of the three most common female bladder-urethral dysfunctions (infection, stress incontinence, and irritable bladder syndrome) are examined so that the practitioner may better differentiate between these problems and some of their counterparts. Cystitis cystica,

To demonstrate the surgical management of adult acquired buried penis (AABP). Affected patients have poor sexual function, urinary dribbling with subsequent skin breakdown, mood disturbance, lichen sclerosus with subsequent urethral stricture, and poor quality of life. Previous efforts have
